Newest Member of the Linn Family

Here is the newest member of the Linn family. Her name is Molly Blessing. I wanted Blessing, the kids wanted Molly. She is truly a blessing and brings us so much joy!
She has a SWEET disposition. She really is a great dog. We think she is six months old. She is a Springer Spaniel and is practically a twin to the last dog we had.
So far we have discovered that she loves ice and loves to lay on the air conditioning vent. She loves to cuddle and she doesn't even pee when she gets to excited.


I guess there is some debate on whether people of lower incomes should have pets. That is a good question. No doubt, they can't always afford the best in vet care. Sometimes the pet even suffers because of this. That is truly unfortunate. All throughout history poor people have had pets even before veterinarians. Pets bring a lot of joy to the rich and poor alike. And hopefully, rich and poor can both bring a lot of joy and care to the pet. Pets need homes. People need pets. I am sure there are not enough rich people to care for all the cats and dogs in the world. So I guess the lower income people have to pitch in and do their part, allowing the children and adults to have meaningful relationships with pets while caring for a animal that needs a home. I guess all they can do is their best. After all even low income people need the simple joys that are offered in life.
